Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said Wednesday he fears a “train wreck” as the Obama administration implements its signature healthcare law.

. . .

“I just see a huge train wreck coming down,” he told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a Wednesday hearing.

In what I can only assume is a desperate last-ditch effort to improve public opinion on Obamacare, the White House has apparently started an anonymous Tumblr blog to use cute animal pictures to sell Obamacare. (No, I am not making this up!) Freedom Works responds in kind. Jim Geraghty has some pretty funny ones:

On the Cruz plan to defund Obamacare, I’ve been skeptical, partly for reasons alluded to here, for example, or see this Mona Charen piece.

It may well represent the best political opportunity for Republicans in more than a decade. If they take the Senate in 2014 and the presidency in 2016, it will not be too late to repeal Obamacare. At the rate it’s going, it probably won’t even be fully operational by then. But Republicans will have to cease their fratricide to take advantage of it.
